I made this for a lady who is a longeberger basket consultant. I covered the white almond cake in fondant that I cut in strips and made a basket by looking at one. all the flowers are made from fondant. It took a long time to make all the flowers but it was a learning experience. The "dirt" is just crushed up chocolate graham crackers. The basket started to fall off the cake so I colored some fondant green and shoved it under to hold it up. It still puckered a little but she really loved it.
